Benefits of technology
The patent describes a transmission system that minimizes complexity and reduces the need for a large pump. The system includes multiple torque-transmitting mechanisms that are located close to each other, without any other components in between. This arrangement simplifies hydraulic feed and reduces the size of the required pump. The technical effect is a more efficient and compact transmission system.
Problems solved by technology
This severely limited the overall speed range of the vehicle and therefore required a relatively large engine that could produce a wide speed and torque range.
This resulted in the engine operating at a specific fuel consumption point during cruising other than the most efficient point.
However, typical increased complexity, size and cost of such transmissions are competing factors which may prevent their use in some applications.

Embodiment Construction
[0014]Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers refer to like components, FIG. 1 shows the powertrain 10 with an engine 12 (labeled E), a planetary transmission 14, and a final drive mechanism 16 (labeled FD). The engine 12 may be powered by various types of fuel to improve the efficiency and fuel economy of a particular application. Such fuels may include, for example gasoline, diesel, an ethanol, dimethyl ether, etc. The planetary transmission 14 includes an input member 17 continuously connected with an output member of the engine 12, such as a crankshaft, optionally through a torque converter. The planetary transmission 14 further includes a planetary gear arrangement 18, and an output member 19 continuously connected with the final drive mechanism 16 for providing propulsion power to a vehicle wheels.
[0015]The planetary gear arrangement 18 includes two compound planetary gear sets: a first compound planetary gear set 20, and a second compound planetary gear set ...

A multi-speed transmission is provided that includes an input member, an output member, a stationary member, a first and a second compound planetary gear set. The first compound planetary gear set has a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth member. The second compound planetary gear set has a first, second, third, and fourth member. The first member of the second compound planetary gear set is continuously connected for common rotation with the output member. The second member of the second compound planetary gear set is continuously grounded to the stationary member. None of the members of the first compound planetary gear set are continuously connected for common rotation with any of the members of the second compound planetary gear set. Seven torque-transmitting mechanisms are selectively engagable in combinations of three to establish up to ten forward speed ratios between the input member and the output member.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of Russian Patent Application No. 2010107093, filed Feb. 25, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The invention relates to a multi-speed planetary transmission with seven torque-transmitting mechanisms and two compound planetary gear sets.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Automotive vehicles include a powertrain that is comprised of an engine, a multi-speed transmission, and a differential or final drive. The multi-speed transmission increases the overall operating range of the vehicle by permitting the engine to operate through its torque range a number of times. The number of forward speed ratios that are available in the transmission determines the number of times the engine torque range is repeated. Early automatic transmissions had two speed ranges. This severely limited the overall speed range of the vehicle and therefore required a relatively large en...
